New Discoveries

 

In the past week I have found documents identifying several ancestors previously unknown to me. They include:

• Baptismal record for Benjamin Vessey, the son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Vessey of Besthorpe, Nottinghamshire, 09 Jul 1787. (my 3^rd great grandfather)

• Marriage record for Benjamin Vessey & Elizabeth Booker both of Besthorpe, Nottinghamshire, 12 May 1783 (my 4^th great grandparents)

• Marriage record for Benjamin Vessey & Elizabeth Skelton both of Marnham, Nottinghamshire, 25 Dec 1755 (my 5^th great grandparents)

• Christening record for Elizabeth Skelton, daughter of John and Elizabeth Skelton of High Pavement, Nottinghamshire, 29 Oct 1730
• Baptismal record for Mary Beckle [Bridge] (my 3^rd great grandmother), daughter of James and Mary Beckle of Stratton, Cornwall, England, 14 Aug 1808

On the downside, I learned that the Mexican archives related to Jennie Evdokimoff and all Russion colonists in Guadalupe Valley were shipped to Mexicali in 1908 when the state capital of Baja moved there. They may still exist but I won’t be able to search for them when I go to Ensenada next month.
